EPG in Today’s Times…
In modern broadcast systems, EPG is automatically
generated, when the broadcaster feeds the list of
content into the system. The content is fed in the
form of XML, HTML, or CSV file.
Since the nature of television is changing, the nature
of EPG is changing too. As a result, EPG Time Shift,
EPF for IPTV and FAST Channels are growing
popular.

What is EPG Time Shift?
EPG time shift lets viewers pause, rewind, and fast-
forward the content that is currently being played on
the EPG.
Hence, the viewers can revisit the content parts that
they have missed due to varied reasons. Also, they
can skip unnecessary songs and unwanted scenes
using the fast-forward option.

How It
Works?
First the broadcasters finalize the schedule. Then
they feed the schedule into the headend system. In
case of traditional headend systems, it takes a bit
longer to complete this process. But nowadays, the
digital headend and IPTV headend are easier to use.
